What the Defendant in the Moore-Hop-
kins Case SAYS

What the Defendant in the Moore-Hop-
kins Case Says.
REDWOOD CITY, March 2lth.-At the
afternoon session OF the Moore Hopkins
breach of promise case, r. NJ. Edwards, a
San Francisco bookseller testified that he
had known Mrs. III. ID. Moore since 1879
having become acquainted that year
through her coming to his store to pur-
chase stationery. He testified that Mrs.
Moore informed him in 1880 that she was
going to be married to farmer in Sacra-
mento county. This testimony was stricken
out, not being competent. The plaintiffs
case then rested.
Mr.. Wilson addressed the Court and Jury
on behalf of the defendant, setting up a
denial of any proposed marriage, and
alleging that Mrs. Moore falsely testified as
to her age, and further setting up that she
had renounced all claims upon Moses Hop
/ kins by former instruments signed and
acknowledged by plaintiff in October, 1854
III. l.. kirchoff testified that he knew
Mrs. Moore in 1879 She then said she
was 80 years old, which would make her
now Al.
Moses Hopkins, the defendant, was the
second witness. He testified to knowing
Mrs. Moore III 1873, having visited her in
her rooms on Market street for the purpose
OF finding out about the hair restorative
kept for sale by Mrs. Moore. She told him
of the virtues of her lotion, and at her sug-
gestiOn permitted her to rub his bead with
it. He went to see her on Market street
and at her subsequent residence fre-
quently. generally twice week, and had
his head rubbed. He gave her money from
time to time, generally about $50 a month.
Kept up these payments until Mrs Moore,
or her friends, asked larger sums. Mr..
Hopkins denied in toto that he had
promised to marry Mrs. Moore, except
in talking nonsense that the marriage
proposal described by Mrs. Moore in
her testimony was a mistake. Defendant
denied having given Mrs. Moore 81 900 in
one sum previous to his marriage. Mr..
Hopkins was not questioned touching the
kissing episode, and was not cross-ques-
toned by plaintiffs counsel. The waiver
of all claim by Mrs. Moore in considera-
ton of $4,000, was read and admitted in
evidence.
The defendants rested, and in rebuttal
the plaintiff was placed on the stand and
testified in regard to the remuneration
paper. She denied having of her own
knowledge executed that instrument, and
also contradicted the testimony of Kircholf,
declaring that she had never been in San
Francisco until 1873 Both sides have
closed, and the arguments will begin to-
morrow.

INSOLEST REDSKINS.
Danger of Another Indian Outbreak in
Arizona.

Arizona.
[By telegraph to the RECORD UNION
Tucson, March 24th.-Superviso Frank
Proctor has returned from trip through
Gila and Graham counties. During bis alb
sence he visited the reservation, and speaks
in high terms of the management of Capt
Pierce, and says that for the first time in
the history of the reservation the Indians
are made to feel that the white man is their
master. The bucks are naturally averse to
manual labor. and will often suffer impris-
onment in the guard-house in shackles
rather than perform the tasks set them, as
they are required now to till the soil and
grow their own food, while employees are
instructipg them in the lessons of agri-
culture. The new life is not at all pleasant
to many of the older bucks, who feel dis
graced in doing menial work, but are
governed by firm hand. They receive fair
and just treatment, against which they
have no reason TO complain. Above all
things, they ore taught that only reason
able commands will be given, and these
must be obeyed. The origin of the recent
trouble on the reservation arose as follows:
Lieutenant Mott and the head farmer
had gone below the Agency 10 look after
the bitches. and while examining them
young buck came NJ and asked the Lieu
ltlltiiil WHY ut liu tilSOiitu DIS ldtHtT Ill lne
guard-house. The Lieutenant told him
that it was because he would not work.
The young buck made threatening re-
mark, and the Lieutenant told him to shut
up or he might be in the guard house, also.
The buck then drew a pistol and fired at
him, infiicting a wound that caused Lieut..
Motifs death, and disabling the farmer.
The murderer has been apprehended, and
will probably suffer for his crime.
A general sentiment prevails among the
employees on the reservation, which is not
shared by Captain Pierce, that another out
break is inevitable, and that it is liable to
come at any moment between now and the
early summer months. 1t will be by the
Tontos, and possibly the White Mountain
Indians They are very restless and surly
when beyond the espionage of the scouts
and others in authority, and are only await
ing a good pretext 10 mutiny. They are
not as good warriors as the Chiracuhuas,
and will speedily be conquered if they take
the warpath, and the sooner they start out
the better il will be, as il will end them
and their troubles. So far as Arizona is
concerned. long-continued warfare like
that but Just ended is impossible with the
tribes now on the reservation. The In
dians are all well armed, and have plenty
of ammunition. Nearly every one has a
pistol. and many of them have rifles. The
carrying of arms and ammunition on the
reservation is forbidden, but they manage
to secure supplies somewhere else. The
possession of these arms gives them de-
gree of confidence and arrogance that they
would not otherwise assert.

The Ohio Statesman Takes Plainly to
Tennessee Democrats.


NASHVILLE, March 24th.-A very large
audience listened 10 speech tonight de-
liyeled by Senator Sherman, by invitation
of the Republican members of the Legis-
ture. Sherman said he accepted the inyi-
tation, believing " that fair presentation
made to the people of Tennessee without
distinction of party. OF the aims and prin-
ciples of our party-both past and for the
tuture-might induce them to join with us
in public policy that will contribute to
the interests of the people of Tennessee
and of the whole country more and greater
benefits and advantages than can possibly
be conferred upon them by the Democratic
party. / have felt he said, that the diff
ferences that grew out of the war now hold
a large body of honest and patriotic citizens
of the South from cooperating with
the Republican party, but who in
my judgment, are in sympathy
with us, and that perhaps / might
be able to dissipate these prejudices by a
frank statement of the views which have
actuated the Republican party in the past,
and thus bring us into cooperation on
measures tending to advance the common
interests and prosperity of our country. At
all events, l feel confident that the people
of Tennessee, who from the very earliest
settlement have been distinguished for
their courage and independence, will give
the stranger among them fair hearing for
his honest opinions"
The Senator then spoke at length on the
political issues of the past and present, and
of the future aims and purposes of the Re-
publican party. He was listened to respect
fully, and frequently applauded

where cigars are sold, for 1t is an undisputed
fact that most smokers prefer mild cigar, and
that those who have for long time smoked
strong cigars, principally imported Hayanas,
will, after having thoroughly Injured the stom.
aeh and impaired the nervous system, surely
want mild cigar, it they could find the right

How many thousands of smokers who suffer

II they knew that their suiierings were caused
By the 1ntemperate use of strong cigars. and
that they should only smoke mild and properly

II is fact that not all mild cigars agree well
with smokers, for in most cases there is lack
of care in the selection Of the tobacco. and often
the necessary experience for it is wanting, yet
there is one brand which suis the most fas-
tidiOus smoker and that Is
